Hi Abstrax, sorry for the delay.

I've worked out that it's VRAM related, so I inadvertently maxed out the VRAM on the slave (Titan & 2x780ti) which lead to the nasty errors, when I dropped the output resolution and therefore the vram it doesn't show the error! Should there be a fallback to just not use the ones that can't fit the RAM?

It's currently late here, I'll zip up the scene and PM you a link first thing.

cheers

Thanks for the reply. Usually you can't allocate a film buffer that doesn't fit into memory and the GPU should fail. But maybe the slaves ignore failed GPUs. I will try to recreate the problem here this way.

same problem here with and without render farm.

Again, what's the configuration on your master and especially on your slaves? I.e. OS and GPUs? Could you please send me the scene? Thanks.

does anybody have a hint? is there a way to keep the sun as light and for the shadows, but hide its reflection on glossy/spec materials?

Using a multi- or colorshader in an octane material causes Cinema4D to freeze/crash.
Using R16 with 2.22.2 Test 3 + Geforce GTX 760

I've seen some examples on the forums here (colorshader_alpha test by useruser) where people have this setup working. Am I missing something ?

would be nice to see what's crashing? If you reach the some node graph limits, octane can crash. We have a limit for total nodes like about 32768 per nodegraph. Ex. if you create a cloner with thousands childs and put a object tag, this will cause a few nodes per child. So You can easily reach to this limit with also having other objects and materials/textures to freeze the system. I'll make some changes to use own nodegraph per cloners.

Thanks for the quick response.

I've tested it in the very basic of basic setups. 3x3 cloner grid.
Scene file attached, does this give you problems as well ?

Np. It's fine on a quick test. I don't expect a problem for a simple scene, but maybe a spesific issue on OSX. Do you have a bugreport which is generated by a crash?

[nfms]

No, c4d just freezes (beachballin') and I have to force-quit it. Funny thing is the force quit doesn't remove the Cinema 4D windows either. It's gone in the force-quit menu from finder, but they are still visible. Only way to solve it is a reboot.

OSX version is 10.9.5 (Mavericks)


Not using a standard c4d shader and just Octane materials works fine.
